Reading your post gave me a little feeling of inferiority ;) Feel kind of jealous of your being a pentaglot while I'm just a humble diglot.
I'm also going to learn Mandarin because (hopefully) soon I will be studying it at university. Same goes for Cantonese. So hope you don't mind if I ask you for advice from time to time ;)

Good luck!

Well, there's always someone to feel jealous about. Just about this entire forum gets a bit green-tinted when they think of Prof. Arguelles. Go ahead and ask me for advice, I'd love to share. But I have a hideous record of answering PMs. I always go "I'll answer that later" until I reach the point where it's been so long it'd be embarrassing. But on the plus side, just about everything I know about effective language learning I got from this forum.

Wow, congrats - 5 languages (and not all Indo-European languages) is no small feat!

Congratulations, Ali!

Please continue to promote Cantonese back in your homeland, especially to those Cantonese speakers who are giving up teaching their kids their heritage language.

I echo the above sentiment. I hope you continue to spread your love of Cantonese wherever you go. :)
